Homemade Bull is a dwelling space that gives its child Other owner a powerful, unassailable 'super-shell' body that protects her when she wants to read critical theory, express herself through art, or sleep and dream without the anxiety of social oppression. Using an imagined narrative of a child Other who is conscious of her own alterity and seeking to understand social injustice in order to become intellectually liberated, Homemade Bull is part of a series of surrogates and private refuges I created to assist her in this process. The viewer is not allowed to go inside the bull, but can get a glimpse of the hidden bedroom by looking through one of the nostrils.
